Syntax

net = patternnet(hiddenSizes,trainFcn,performFcn)

Description

example

net = patternnet(hiddenSizes,trainFcn,performFcn) returns a pattern recognition neural network with a hidden layer size of hiddenSizes, a training function, specified by trainFcn, and a performance function, specified by trainFcn.

Pattern recognition networks are feedforward networks that can be trained to classify inputs according to target classes. The target data for pattern recognition networks should consist of vectors of all zero values except for a 1 in element i, where i is the class they are to represent.

This example shows how to design a pattern recognition network to classify iris flowers.

Load the training data.

[x,t] = iris_dataset;

Construct a pattern network with one hidden layer of size 10.

net = patternnet(10);

Train the network net using the training data.

net = train(net,x,t);

View the trained network.

view(net)

Estimate the targets using the trained network.

y = net(x);

Assess the performance of the trained network. The default performance function is mean squared error.

perf = perform(net,t,y)
perf = 0.0302

classes = vec2ind(y);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Size of the hidden layers in the network, specified as a row vector. The length of the vector determines the number of hidden layers in the network.

Example: For example, you can specify a network with 3 hidden layers, where the first hidden layer size is 10, the second is 8, and the third is 5 as follows: [10,8,5]

The input and output sizes are set to zero. The software adjusts the sizes of these during training according to the training data.
